Backblaze Annual Subscription

Description

Have you ever accidentally deleted a file you needed, or saved over a version and lost your previous content?

Have no fear, Backblaze is here!

If you’re a Mac user, you have a wonderful tool called Time Machine that allows you to connect any external hard drive and have all your changes backed up automatically, every hour.

That’s a great start, and it’s saved my bacon more than once. But there’s one problem with relying on Time Machine to back up your crucial photos and documents….

….it’s sitting next to your computer.

If your house is robbed, or (heaven forbid), your house catches on fire, this external hard drive will go up in smoke, along with your computer. For that reason, it’s a really good idea to have an offsite backup as well. That way, if there’s a disaster or your hard drive fails, all is not gone.

Jamie, Jen, and I all use a service called Backblaze. When you sign up, it will upload all your files into an encrypted backup on one of their servers. Every time you save a change to a file, it uploads to Backblaze automatically in the background.

Then, if you ever need it, you can log into backblaze.com and download anything from one file, to the complete contents of your PC or Mac.

You can choose a specific file from a specific date, so you can find the exact version you need.

If you need a large file set, instead of waiting for the Internet download (which can take a long time), Backblaze gives you the option of receiving a Flash Drive or a Hard Drive in the mail with the entire contents of your computer.

Backblaze will even back up your Dropbox folder.

How cool is that! The best part? Backblaze is only $5 a month, or $50 for a whole year (2 months free!). That’s incredibly cheap for your peace of mind.

Because we use Backblaze ourselves, so we can stand behind our experience with the company.

Alicia's knowledge of Quickbooks is excellent! She was on-site at our Portland office for a day. It was money well spent. Thank you Alicia!

“I want you to know that I had a wrap up with the law firm this week. It was very positive. Their IT specialist specifically mentioned that she greatly appreciated your coaching about training approach and working with who are not always good at remembering everything they are hearing. So thanks for that voice of reason. You made a very positive impact!”

Last year I got back over $12,000 because of Alicia’s detailed work. Alicia is the most affordable bookkeeping systems advisor I’ve ever met. Let me explain, she knows QB better than anyone I’ve ever met. She is very fast, thorough and relentless. I’d say she is 4 times faster than me, and more than twice as fast as most, who might charge half as much.
